These muffins were very good and "pound cake like". I did not have a lemon or lemon juice so I used some milk and lemon extract to make a glaze. But I actually like the muffins without the glaze. Since I was taking these to work I did not put the glaze on the muffins, took it in a seperate container and that way everyone could do what they wanted. Next time I may add some lemon zest to the muffin batter and sprinkle sugar on top before baking.
